funsho2 wrote:We could have use those draft picks on another position we need....we already have alfred morris.....doesnt make any sense to draft two running backs

Why???

Just because they are TWO???

Do you have a beef with their qualities???

Do you know whether there was another BPA at those picks??? Which ones?

Because you are just critcising TWO picks at the same RB position, I would remind you that we need some players to take some of the load off Alfred and RGIII, provided that we may want them to have a career longer than two seasons. Helu and Royster did not contribute much last season for whatever reasons. THOSE are TWO players in case we needed to remind ourselves.

I am not sure whether Helu and Royster are better than these two guys. I will be glad to go to battle in the regular season with THREE very dangerous and even different RBs able to do everything that may be required of them ... receiving, blocking, running with greater production, capable to change pace, create mismatches and ... HEALTHY.

I am all for competition. And not to bring the point others have, I will let the regular season prove you wrong.

Daniel Snyder has defined incompetence, failure and greed to true Washington Redskins fans for over a decade and a half. Stay away from football operations !!!

We weren’t really looking for a running back in that seventh round, but he was there and we just thought he was too good to pass up. Very similar to guys we’ve talked about in the past. When a guy’s in the seventh round that you have ranked much higher, we thought he could do a lot of the same things. Not only could he excel in the nickel packages, but he could be a first-down runner as well.”

Hey "funsho," let's take a trip down memory lane. Back in April 2012, you were pretty vocal about one of the Skins' picks, and for the same reason that you are getting so upset in this thread. You didn't like that we took Cousins, and you thought anyone who did like the pick was crazy. Here's what you said about it:

If i was RG3 i will ask for a trade right now

There are more pressing needs than a 2nd QB. Beck and Grossman are capable backups. It just makes no sense. Instead of drafting a player that can eventually start or actually be good enough to start. We needed WR help, a Center, a RT, maybe even an ILB, or maybe even a Safety. Yet, we wasted our relatively early pick on a player that we don’t expect to EVER see the field. How are you supposed to “flip” this player in 3-4 years? Showing what he has during preseason games? Please…..Talk about Heath Shuler Gus Frerotte part 2

. . . . forgive me if I take your RB doomsday talk with a grain of salt.

Im not concerned one bit with the RB picks. Bobby Turner and Mike Shannahan could turn me into a 1000 yard back, I'm a 43yr old white guy.

Im more concerned that some of these picks will miss time due to injury or suspensions. Not a huge concern though. I have faith that over 50% of these picks will not only make the roster but, will contribute sometime this season. What more could we expect out of a draft where we had no first rounder?

I would add something meaningful, but Irn bru just blew up the stage.

I know he got a pretty good zip on the ball. He has a quick release. . . once I seen a coupla' throws, I was just like 'Yeah, he's that dude.'"
